    Hey ladies

    So tomorrow will be my first shopping trip with my sister and best mate for their BM dresses. We're looking for long/maxi dresses in a deep red/claret colour.

    Any suggestions where I might find these? We're doing high street tomorrow (Lakeside shopping centre) and then will do two bridal stores next week before making a final decision.

    Have seen this dress in the shops I'll get them to try ..............

    Yep, we will be hitting D'hams, HoF and the home store that's british. Hopefully it'll be a fun day, hopefully coming on today doesn't affect my mood tomorrow as often when I just come on I just wanna curl up on the sofa in my PJ's and sleep.

    Mmmm, cinamon pretzel sounds good, is there any dairy in them?

    I don't think I saw any red ones in Debenhams, but definitely worth checking out, I know they do some gorgeous purples.
    If you know which shops are in the place your going you could always check out the websites first to narrow things down, they sometimes have more on the website as well that you can order into the store. Xxx

    Thanks Sarah. I know the main stores to check out but just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for shops you wouldn't immediately think of for BM Dresses xx

    no idea if they have dairy or not - but am sure they have a good few thousand calories :)

    is there a quiz there? can't remember... they sometimes have some nice long ones in.

    Ole Gok Wan had the most amazing jersey long frock on one of his shows (must've been recent) that was from primani... it had a huge v at the front and he turned it round and put a gold belt with it - looked stunning (jersey would be no good for me though - show off many lumps and bumps) but wouldn't hurt to take a look.

    good time of year to look at long frocks etc as Xmas is approaching.

    There is a quiz there. They have one dress online that is long in red but had silver on it that won't go with the red and gold colour scheme. Hmmmm, the primarni one sounds like a good idea :D

    I googled the pretzel place. the original one has butter on it, no info on the cinamon one, there is a "lite" one that is just plain, no salt or anything on it. They "lite" is 320 cals per pretzel, the original is 340 per pretzel.

    InDreamland, I went to try on my dress yesterday in the bridal shop and the Owner told me that I need to order the bridesmaids dresses within the next 3 weeks as the factories close during December and January so there isn't much time left for delivery/alterartions etc. (I get married just after you on the 24th May).
    Hope you find something in the shops but please bare this in mind.

    Thanks Kayleigh.
    All the bridal stores I have appointments with next weekend say that November should be fine :D

    We found two dress styles we all like today but I do reckon we'll end up with getting them from a bridal store xx
